Philly drivers are the first ppl to beep their horns when the light literally just turned green, but are also the ppl that’ll pull a gun on you if you appropriately lightly beep at them bc they ran a red light and almost t-boned you…
New York drivers are the worst but Philly is a close second.

Drug addiction is a physical and mental health issue not a personal failing so shame, scorn and forced abstinence do not cure it. It changes the brain chemistry.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
All from his movies.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.
Praying for his full & speedy recovery.
And so deeply inspired by his example.

Is Philly actually obsessed with a fictional movie character from five decades ago (Rocky), or do our local tourism companies just keep pushing this?
I think it’s time we retire the Rocky narrative!
